2021 Highlights

This year has been nothing short of amazing! I’m so thankful for each and every one of you. I know I speak for many small businesses when I say your support, no matter how big or small, means the world. Most of you may not know this, as it wasn’t something I was able to share much about till now, but this was my first year running Ashleigh Magnus Photography while also accepting a training position at my barn!
